Sake description :

 

This Junmai Ginjo sake is crafted to highlight the natural umami of Fukui Prefecture’s Gohyakumangoku rice, while offering a refreshing drinking experience. The harmonious balance of flavors and aromas creates a deep, refined taste.

Tasting Notes:

The sake presents a pale yellow-green color with a subtle grey tone. Its aroma is rich and grounded, with a low, pronounced fragrance. The first notes evoke orange peel and coconut, followed by a blend of walnut, hazelnut, almond tofu, condensed milk, yuba, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a touch of rye bread with nuts and dried fruits. The complexity of these scents is delightful. On the palate, the body is smooth and viscous, with a lively, fresh character that gives a well-rounded, balanced impression. The finish is marked by a subtle bitterness and strength, leaving behind a lingering umami.

Food Pairings:

This sake pairs beautifully with dishes like miso-marinated mackerel, dengaku eggplant, figs with white miso and sesame sauce, and white miso ozoni soup. In Chinese cuisine, it complements spicy miso stir-fried eggplant and pork, while in French cuisine, a dish like poached cod with white miso cream sauce also offers a wonderful match.

福井県産五百万⽯が持つ⽶本来の旨みを引き出しつつ、爽やかな飲み⼼地を追求しました。味と⾹りのハーモニーが醸す深いうまさの純⽶吟醸酒です。

テイスティングコメント

淡い⻩緑⾊にグレーのトーンが⾒受けられる外観。太くどっしりとした重⼼の低い⾹りがストレートに出てくる。最初にオレンジピールとココナッツ、その後、クルミ、ヘーゼルナッツ、杏仁⾖腐、コンデンスミルク、湯葉、ショウガ、ナツメグや丁⼦、ナッツとドライフルーツを⼊れたライ⻨パン、⽩味噌と、複雑で連想させられる⾹りの多さがとても楽しい。とろみすら感じる粘性を帯びたボディーは躍動感と瑞々しさを伴っており、豊かでバランスが良い印象である。そして、強さとほのかな苦味の引き締まりが後半に旨味を残している。

相性の良い料理

さばの味噌煮、茄⼦の⽥楽、イチジクの⽩みそ練り胡⿇ソース、⽩みそのお雑煮。中華料理では茄⼦と豚⾁のピリ⾟味噌炒め、フランス料理をアレンジして、タラのポワレ⽩みそクリームソースと、味噌との良い相性が思い浮かぶ。
